Libel

My ex-husband is continuously and consistently posting false information on my facebook page. I am required to be "friends" with him, as this is his only avenue of contact with the children.

During the latest incident, dated 9/16, he posted that I am a con artist, I have been fired from multiple jobs, lied in court, tried to kill him, my daughter was injured by two men while in my care, and that my son has been injured by my husband.

I would like to handle this pro se, as I have handled the custody and divorce with no problem, but I'm having a hard time finding paperwork. Can you help?
